meaningfully here for at least three months.Sometimes the silence is
kindest. Those of us who lurk BMBs will see your intro and
PM/comment/love tit.

This
thread has mild restrictions - thread is primarily BFP announcements
but doesn't allow for direct questions or lengthy/personalized congrats
in the comments. Use the "Love It" button or "congrats!", "H&H 9
months!", "I was hoping this was your month!" and other short &
sweet notes.
Regular board rules apply-- this
is not the place to ask if you are pregnant based off your symptoms or
for second opinions on your tests. We do invite you to contribute in the
daily TWW and WTO threads and discussions. This community gives back
tenfold what you put into it! When you see somebody who has possibly
violated a guideline of this thread, please quote the section of these
guidelines and include a callout to the poster, but keep snark to a
minimum. If you have a post called out, please edit your offending post
to add a note that you've been made aware of the rule and will keep it
in mind in the future (if you are being asked to change wording due to
unintentionally offensive phrasing, please remove that part of your post
with a note of "EDIT: Removed offensive phrasing"). Remember: this
thread is not a tribunal. Continued arguments and defenses about a post
have no place here and are considered off-topic. If you would like to
make an argument for or against a rule, please create or update a META

TTC History
Me: 38 DH: 52
Started trying June 2018

TTC October 2021
BFP January 2022
MMC March 2022
Beginning May 2022 under the supervision of an RE - Benched while undergoing testing
How long have you been an active participant on the TTGP board? (minimum: 3 full months) 4
What did your chart look like? Pretty boring. I decided not to temp after O this month because I’m forgetful, my son often wakes me up early, and I don’t personally find much valuable information for me from it after confirming ovulation.
What were you doing TGKU? BBT, OPKs, CM
How was your timing? What symptoms did you have, if any? (CS & CD breakdowns welcome) timing was great. -4, -3, -1, 0. No symptoms so far which is not surprising to me. I may have had some cramping throughout the TWW but it also may have been imagined.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I am a person who really likes to do cute crafty things. I was just too excited this time. We were both unfortunately awake super early so I took the test, went downstairs, and told him.
Anything else to add? Just a big, heartfelt thank you to this community. You are wonderful, insightful, kind, and encouraging women who I am glad to have had the opportunity to get to know. I wish all of you the best of luck.
